I'm really hot, should i go to er? i don't have a thermometer but i just had breast augmentation exactly 6 days ago and i went to work again today

Surgeon review: Any patient with increased temperature in the early post operative period should contact the surgeon who completed the surgical procedure. Surgeon review maybe necessary. Infection of a prosthetic implant is a real possibility.....Physician review is a must. Contact your surgeon. If you can not reach your surgeon...Yes consider emergency room review.

Do you have a fever : Flushing after surgery is normal. However, fever is not. It might be more cost effective to get you temperature taken that to rush to the er. Call your surgeon I am sure you can stop by to get your temperature taken and possibley be seen by the nurse of docto.

Call your surgeon: Feeling hot is usually not a good sign right after surgery since you might have an inefection. You should examine your breasts to see if they are warm or red. Also note any other problems such as cough or burning upon urination. You should call your plastic surgeon to report your symptoms and see him/her as soon as possible. If you cannot get in touch, then you should use the er as a last resort.

Yes notify someone: First get a thermometer and take your temperature but if sufficiently elevated (above 101.5) you should absolutely contact someone with your surgeon being the first best option. In the meantime, try some deep breathing exercises because partial airway collapse from lacie of deep breathing due to post-operative pain is most likely the most common cause but implant infection remains a concern.

Check with Surgeon.: Elevated temperature/fever is a sign of a postoperative complication. Therefore, best to inform and preferably see your plastic surgeon for evaluation. Best wishes.

See your surgeon: You should get a thermometer and check your temperature, that way you know whether you really have a fever or not. You should have your surgeon examine you. http://www.dassmd.com/breast-augmentation/index.html.
